Perfect Storm

Another example of truly wretched timing (I can hear the universe laughing)...Tuesday night our entire household got hit with a absolutely nasty stomach sickness. Literally everyone (including little Cirie) was sick at the same time. We're starting to function now, but I'm behind on the customs. My apologies for the extended wait on this Custom Corps, it has been awesome and horrifying at the same time. The final count was double what I thought it would be, so it was a great yet ominous surprise. I'll be up until I get this last batch of them done, which will definitely take me into the weekend. I hope that the consolation for the delay is knowing that every figure that will be going out has been given a ton of attention (and no virus). My sincere thanks for the now legendary patience that you have all consistently shown over the years. I hope that you guys are all healthy and not buried in too much snow. New pics tomorrow.

  5. I expect nothing less then you taking care of your family first. these are, after all, just toys and will never compare with a loving family. and since we are all family here. i expect nothing less then you taking care of yourself as well. dont let these action figures run you to the ground. we can wait. and good things come to those with patience. i have the world worth of patience. so, that means that when my CC comes in, it will be nothing short of swesome. no matter what form it takes. thanks for the opperunity.

  7. Thanks for the update. I'm excited for those pictures! Sounds like the final count is over 200.

  8. There were predictions that you'd work yourself dead with this latest CC...Please keep them from being fulfilled! I ended up electing not to purchase any this round (used the allocated funds for Valentine's Day instead), but I'm sure I speak for everybody when I say that the figures can wait! Get well soon, you omnibenevolent madman!

  9. Eeep! Dont die Onell Team! We'd miss you guys way too much! I'm eagerly awaiting the new pics, but as everyone else said safety and well being first!

    Side note, I cant imagine shipping 200+ things at once. For god sakes when I shipped out the mission 481.1 pieces to their designated homes the post office peeps gave me the death glare and I only had 14 packages.

  10. Ah man, no worries, toys can wait. This custom corps piece will surely be one of my favorites knowing the ridiculous journey it took from birth to my house. Can’t wait!

  12. I can't say any more than everyone else already did but your health comes first especially when its the whole family at once. When you work too hard your immune system fails so please take a break every now and then, we can wait!

    Praying for a speedy and full recovery!

  14. I imagine there's been some snow in Onell land, as well. Truly a perfect twist in events. I trust you're taking steps to stay healthy first; we fans come farther down the chain. :)
